CAUTION
When using the thermometer to measure the temperature of the soldering iron tip or de-soldering
nozzle, pay great attention to the temperature of the tip or nozzle that will be as high as 200 to 450°C
(392 to 842°F). Careless handling of such a hot object may result in a burn or fire.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
Warnings, cautions and notes are placed at critical points in this manual to direct the operator’s
attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:
CAUTION : Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or damage to the
items involved. Two examples are given below.
WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.
NOTE : A NOTE indicates a procedure or point that is important to the process being described.

● Set the batteries.
Put six pieces of size AA batteries in the battery box.
CAUTION
・ Make sure the polarity.
・Avoid any mixed use of new and old batteries.
・While NiCad and nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries may be used, they last shorter heat
generation and(or) liquid spill. Use of alkaline batteries is recommended than NiCad batteries.
・When replacing the batteries, the data saved on the main body will not be lost.

the iron. When sticking the barcode to a unit, be careful of the following points.
CAUTION
・ Select a flat surface and avoid any curved surface wherever possible when sticking
the barcode seal.
・ The barcode itself should be 2.5 mm wide or over.
・ There should be a margin of 2 mm or over on both ends of the barcode, as shown on the figure.

■ Power save/Auto shut-off
To reduce the battery power consumption, the device may enter into the state of power save/auto
shut-off after elapse a certain period of time. In the power save state, while the contents being edited in
the Setting mode are retained, they will be lost once the device is shut down.
・In case of the measurement mode
If there is no temperature input exceeding 100°C (212°F) for a period of 3 minutes or over, or no
operation of button, the device will be powered OFF. You will be notified by the buzzer beeping 30
seconds before the powering OFF.
・In case of other than the measurement mode
If there is no input, ID reading, button operation, etc. for a period of 3 minutes or over, the device will
enter into the state of power save.
* In the recording mode, if the device has transitioned to the power save state after temperature
measurement, it will automatically save the data.
If no recovery occurs in 3 minutes after the entry into the power save state, the device
will be powered OFF.

● Measurement of the iron tip temperature
1. With new solder stuck on the iron tip, bring it into contact with the temperature
measurement section of the sensor.
2. Wait for the temperature to stabilize.
・Although the temperature measurement section of the sensor is provided with a special
treatment, it will deteriorate by the repeated measurements. To ensure accurate measurement
of the temperature, replace any sensor that is worn at the temperature measurement section.
The rough standard for the replacement is approximately 50 measurements.
・Wipe off any flux deposited on the terminal with alcohol. (Do not use thinner or benzine.)

■ MAXHOLD function
Pressing the button causes “H” icon to appear on the lower right corner of the screen. In that state,
the maximum temperature will be always displayed.
・When short-pressed (for less than 2 seconds)
While, in the MAXHOLD state, the screen always shows the MAX temperature alone, once the button
is pressed for a short time, the indicated value will be reset once and the new MAX temperature after
the press of the button will be shown thereafter.
・When long-pressed (for 2 seconds or over)
The MAXHOLD function will be released and the screen will return to the normal display.

B. Recording MODE
The unit ID scan or pressing the button in the measurement mode causes the transition to
this mode.
* The recorded data is possible to transfer to the PC.（Refer to P29 “6. SAVING DATA ON THE PC”）
●Recording procedure
1. Scan the unit ID by a barcode reader. This operation conducted in the measurement mode
automatically causes the transition to the recording mode. The read ID will be shown in the
Unit field. In the case where the group is set, the registered group No. will be displayed.
If it is not registered in any group, “--” will be shown.
2. Scan the measurer’s ID by a barcode reader. The read ID is shown in the space of Meas.
In the case where the measurer ID has been once read, you can skip this operation and
move on to the temperature measurement. In that case, the Meas field will automatically
show an ID that was read last.

4. After the temperature measurement, press the REC button to save the data on the unit main body.
* The unit can save up to 300 records of data. Any data saved beyond the 300 records overwrite
the existing records starting at the first record.
* After the recording, if the unit ID that has been read is registered in a group and the upper/lower
temperature limit is exceeded, the following failure screen will be displayed. The display of the
temperature value will be inverted. Pressing the button will cause the return to the record
mode screen.

3. Measure the temperature. The following shows the temperature measurement procedure in
the recording mode.
1) Put the iron tip into contact with the sensor. When the temperature rises, the HOLD icon
starts blinking.
2) As the temperature stabilizes, the blink will stop and the recording will be enabled.
